Photo uploaded file exceed max file size (2M) directed php.ini

Ok I'm getting this message when trying to upload photos, all photo limits for all members and user groups has the same settings, but some members are getting this message or other messages when trying to upload a photo or group of photos. Does anybody know what could be the problem and what needs to be done to correct it?

Update: now I'm thinking it has something to do with server or hosting, because I can login as the same member and the photos uploads correct 🤦🤦🤦but why it's giving the error message that it's the file limit?

Topics: photos, photos won't upload

Do you have Plesk or cPanel?

In Plesk you PHP info and change:

upload_max_filesize for 2m to 10m

post_max_size from 2m to 8m

These new sizes seemed to work ok, but you can pick whatever you want. I don't know cPanel though, but it probably has some area to change your php.ini file.

I had the same issue/error when I first started using a dedicated server.
